Amazon warns that highly realistic phishing emails use “24-hour account suspension” as bait to induce sellers to click malicious links, potentially leading to account theft and financial loss. Sellers should: do not click any unknown “login” or “verification” links, verify notifications directly via Amazon Seller Central; immediately enable two-factor authentication (2FA), check sub-account permissions, and remind operations team to be wary of similar emails. ⏰ Act immediately.

Sellers operating in Russia should review VAT registration, filing and tax payment records in advance to ensure complete tax compliance chain, avoiding passive situation when policy lands. ⏰ Continue tracking legislative process.

💡 Today’s Insight

Today’s information densely points to two keywords: compliance tightening and pre-peak rush. Amazon, TikTok, Russia, Temu are simultaneously intensifying rules across multiple fronts, indicating platforms’ tolerance for “compliance” is rapidly declining — sellers can no longer treat compliance as a cost, but should regard it as insurance to prevent sudden account collapse. This week three things are recommended: ① comprehensively review Amazon tool category certifications and TikTok Southeast Asia listing copy; ② enable two-factor authentication on all platform accounts to prevent phishing attacks; ③ combine Prime promotion and TikTok Black Friday subsidies to lock in small-batch testing budgets for high-conversion categories in advance, and use AI content tools to reduce material costs.
